10.The Simpsons
10《辛普森家族》
There was a recent near-disaster (Harry Shearer almost walked over a contract dispute), but the longest-running scripted series in TV history — 573 episodes and counting — looks set for another 27 seasons.Two things you‘ll never see no matter how long it’s on the air: “Homer and Marge will never break up,” promises show runner Al Jean。 “And Bart and Lisa will never age.”
近来发生了一件近乎灾难性的事件(哈里谢尔差点卷入一场合同纠纷中),但是这部在电视剧史上播出时间最长的剧——573集未完待续——计划再制作27季。制片人阿尔季恩承诺说,不管这部剧播多久,你永远会看到:“荷马和麦吉永不分手;巴特和丽莎永不变老。”
9.Mad Men
9《广告狂人》
时间:(2007-2015)
播出平台:AMC
Creator Matthew Weiner recalls hearing: “ It‘s really low status. No money. You don’t want to be their first.” Fortunately, Weiner didn‘t listen.
导演马修·韦纳记得之前有人对他说:“这部剧真的很下里巴人。没啥钱。你不会想成为第一个吃螃蟹的人。”辛亏,韦纳没有听那人的话。
8.I Love Lucy
8《我爱露西》
时间:(1951-1957)
播出平台:CBS
Its influence continues to be felt today (without Lucille Ball, there‘d be no Amy Poehler, Tina Fey or Amy Schumer), with Lucy popping up where least expected.
这部剧的影响一直延续到今天(可以说没有露西尔·鲍尔,就没有艾米·波哈尔、蒂娜·费或者艾米·舒默了。)《露西》上榜,情理之中。
7.Saturday Night Live
7《周六夜现场》
时间:(1975-Present)
播出平台:NBC
It‘s been good and not so good, but SNL has remained a reliable comedy fix for 40 years.“My tombstone should say ’uneven‘ because [the show] has never been described any other way,” says creator Lorne Michaels, 70.
这个节目好也不好,但是《周六夜现场》的确仍旧是40年来最靠谱的喜剧节目。“70岁的导演罗恩·麦考斯说,”我的墓碑上应该写着‘艰难曲折’因为(这部剧)一直也都是被认为是这样的。“
6.The Sopranos
6《黑道家族》
时间:(1999-2007)
播出平台:HBO
“New Jersey is beautiful even in its industrial wasteland-ness,” says creator David Chase, 70, “My edict was that all location filming had to take place in Jersey, not in Queens, where the soundstages were. I felt that Jersey gave the show a different look from previous organized crime [dramas].”
“就算是在工业废墟中,新泽西也是很美的,“70岁的导演大卫·蔡斯说,我的要求就是所有的拍摄必须在新泽西完成,而不是在皇后区,摄影棚要搭在新泽西。我感觉新泽西之前发生的有组织犯罪(剧集)会给这部剧一个不同的视角。”
5.Seinfeld
5《宋飞正传》
时间:(1989-1998)
播出平台:NBC
“Milton Berle once told me that if you can‘t make a character funny, make him interesting,” says Michael Richards, 66, who turned Kramer, Jerry’s screwball next-door neighbor, into the quintessential sidekick on the decade-defining sitcom that was famously “about nothing.”
“米尔顿·波勒有次告诉我说,如果我不能让一个角色变得诙谐,那就让这个角色变得有趣些吧,”66岁的迈克尔·理查德说,在这部跨越10年的情景剧里,他把杰里的怪邻居克雷默变成剧里主角必不可少的老朋友,这个角色因其各种“无厘头”而出名。
4.Game of Thrones
4《权力的游戏》
时间:(2011-Present)
播出平台:HBO
The biggest hit in HBO history — it has surpassed this list‘s No. 6 The Sopranos — keeps fans hooked with the bloodiest, most shocking cliffhangers on TV. “Ultimately, it’s not just about good versus evil,” co-creator David Benioff says.“It‘s about people of good intentions who come into conflict with each other because they have very different views of the world.”
它是HBO历史上最有影响力一部剧--这部剧超过了排名第六位的《黑道家族》--让粉丝们时刻感受着电视荧幕上最血腥、也是最惊心动魄的争斗。“最终,这部剧并不只是在讲邪不胜正,”联合导演大卫贝尼奥夫说,“这是在讲动机友善的人们,因为有着和世界上其他人不同的想法而卷入到与他人斗争中的故事。
3.The X-Files
3《X档案》
时间:(1993-2002)
播出平台:Fox
The creepy title music. The endless conspiracy theories. The tapeworm guy living in the sewer. “There was nothing like it on TV,” says creator Chris Carter, 57, “We were taking a genre that had been unloved for a long time and super heating it. I think we opened up an opportunity for a different kind of storytelling, the kind of saga storytelling that‘s become a staple of cable TV.”
诡异的主题曲,无尽的阴谋论,绦虫一样的家伙在下水道里生活着。“电视荧幕上从未有过这样的剧集,”57岁的电视剧导演克里斯卡特说,“我们采用的是一种被人们遗忘很久的电视剧类型,并倾尽全力打造它。我认为我们开创了一种不同的叙事风格,那种英雄主义画风已经成了有线电视的标志了。”
2.Breaking Bad
2《绝命毒师》
时间:(2008-2013)
播放平台:AMC
HBO, Showtime and, ultimately, FX passed on this dark drama about a disillusioned chemistry teacher turned meth dealer. In 2006, AMC picked up the series and approached John Cusack and Matthew Broderick to star.
HBO电视网、Showtime、最后,福克斯广播公司通过了这部关于一个化学老师转变成一个兴奋剂交易商的黑暗惊悚美剧。2006年,AMC美国经典电影有线电视台选中了这部电视剧,并邀请约翰·库萨克马修·布罗德里克联袂主演。
